With Google IO kicking off, we have a lot of announcements coming, but nothing makes us codeslingers more excited than smart tools that let you get your work done faster. To that end, I'm proud to present the latest powertool from NVIDIA: Nsight Tegra, Visual Studio Edition.
We're excited because this tool brings one of the most powerful tools ever built, Microsoft Visual Studio, together with the flexible and popular Android platform.

In the mobile game development world, developer studios are discovering that the Tegra chipset offers a huge array of visual features that cannot be found on other mobile platforms.
When developers create games designed to take advantage of Tegra features, they want to use every tool at their disposal to tune the performance of their game. PerfHUD ES is one type of tool that lets developers get the most out of their Tegra-based hardware.

The new Tegra Android Native Samples Pack includes code samples and support libraries that are designed to help developers with the most common Android Native 3D game coding issues.

We are constantly asked by developers, "what's next and where is it?" While Tegra 2 devices continue to release, we are eagerly preparing for what's fast coming down the pipe. At the recent All Things D conference in Asia, NVIDIA's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, discussed a range of topics including the next generation quad-core Tegra processor codenamed "Project Kal-El."
